Exploiting an API endpoint using documentation - Lab#01
In this video, I walkthrough solving a lab by discovering exposed API documentation that reveals sensitive administrative functionality. By accessing the API docs, I identify an endpoint that allows me to delete the user carlos. Using my own credentials, I authenticate and then craft a request to call the API and complete the challenge.
This lab highlights the risks of unrestricted access to internal API documentation, especially when it exposes sensitive operations without proper access controls.
🔹 Lab Type: Insecure API Exposure
🔹 Vulnerability: Exposed API documentation with sensitive functionality
🔹 Attack Goal: Use the API to delete carlos
